why i hate most christian forwards

i read a forward today that kinda bugged me. it was your typical 'if you really love God you'll pass this on' kind of e-mail.  as i read it i found that what it was trying to say and it's purpose were good but i don't see why we can't make up a forward that people will laugh at and enjoy instead of getting them offeneded, anioed or mad in my case.  i hate these kinds of e-mails for these reasons

 

1  just sending them is a cop out to trick christians in to 'sharing' their faith in a gutless way instead of actually getting their hands dirty and helping people for a change

  

2  they are in-affective, even christian begin to resent them

 

3  they rely on guilt tripping, defeating the purpose of them in the first place

 

4  and finaly, my faith does not relly on e-mails!

 

these are the reasons why i will delete or drastically change a forward that regards faith.  i think it is good to have some christian forwards going around but please at least make them interesting to the majority of people, christian or not, and stop with the guilt tripping, it pisses me off.
